Sonata One, the private funds clearinghouse that connects investors with funds and fund managers, has officially launched its Luxembourg office, including specialists across compliance, transfer agency and investor servicing.
The office aims to facilitate supporting clients across key private funds jurisdictions, including Luxembourg, the Channel Islands, the Cayman Islands and the US.
Sonata One references proprietary technology supporting a ‘one and done’ global investor passport and giving access to 24/5 live support coverage.
Subject to regulatory approval, the Luxembourg business “will provide fund subscription, KYC, FATCA/CRS and ongoing AML Officer support, while serving as the home of Sonata One’s new transfer agency service.”
“By bringing transfer agency together with the investor data already held within our platform, we extend the value of our investor passport across the full fund lifecycle, helping managers operating through Luxembourg streamline fundraising and compliance, accelerate capital calls and distributions and gain a clearer view of their investor base,” the firm says.
Mark Coppin (pictured), managing director, Luxembourg, leads the local operation. Having joined Sonata One in 2024 to build transfer agency capability, he is relocated to the Grand Duchy to lead the regulatory authorisation process and grow the local team.
Coppin commented: “Luxembourg is one of the world’s most important private markets hubs and we’re excited to be building our presence here. As managers continue to raise capital across more jurisdictions, they need partners that simplify complexity rather than add to it. By combining local expertise with Sonata One’s technology platform, we’re helping managers streamline fundraising and fund operations while delivering a better experience for investors.”
Tim Andrews, CEO, commented: “Managers raising capital across jurisdictions shouldn’t have to stitch together multiple providers, request the same investor data or navigate different standards at every stage of the fund lifecycle. Sonata One brings it all together through one platform, with one Investor Passport and now a fully integrated transfer agency service. Establishing an office with a sizeable local team in Luxembourg is a major milestone in our global growth strategy, strengthening our ability to help managers raise capital faster, stay compliant and deliver a seamless experience for their investors wherever they raise and manage funds.”
